Every year, more than one million angioplasties are performed in the US, whether after a heart attack; to improve symptoms of coronary artery disease; or to prevent other related illnesses. Up to 30% of heart attack patients are fitted with stents every year. The angioplasty procedure is relatively simple, and can take as little as an hour to perform, depending on the number of blockages and their locations. Multiple stents can be placed as well. However, the cost of an angioplasty and its related aftercare is often upwards of $25,000.

That’s where alternative treatments step in.  A recent article by The New York Times says that drugs may be a viable alternative.  Here are a few highlights -

But a new study by Dutch cardiologists finds that another option is just as effective (as angioplasty). Doctors can give patients powerful clot-dissolving drugs and drugs to lower their cholesterol and wait to see whether the chest pains go away. If they do, no angioplasty is necessary.
The results were a surprise even to the researchers, and they are so different from the standard procedures that some leading cardiologists say they do not expect them to change medical practice in the United States, at least not yet. But, these cardiologists say, the study was well done and the patients had state-of-the-art care.

“This study should be a bit of a wake-up call,” Dr. Boden said. “Perhaps angioplasty and stenting everyone early and aggressively is a runaway freight train. This study would suggest that we perhaps reassess the situation.”

Cardio Renew is a safe, effective oral chelation  treatment that can also help your body to remove harmful plaque buildup and keep blood vessels clear. The EDTA in Cardio Renew binds the calcium in the plaque, allowing the body to eliminate it more easily. Plaque buildups are then softer and easier for the body to remove. To keep blood vessels blockage-free, this chelation therapy can be taken as part of your daily, heart healthy routine. Learn more at Cardio Renew.

WebMD recently published an article called “6 Lifestyle Steps to Cut Hypertension Risk”.  Hypertension, or high blood pressure, contributes to more excess deaths in woman than any other preventable factor.  According to the study, there are six lifestyle choices associated with lowering the risk of developing high blood pressure in women –

1. Healthy weight: body mass index (BMI) of less than 25.
2. Daily exercise: average of 30 minutes of vigorous exercise per day.
3. Heart-healthy diet: following the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet based on high intake of fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes, low-fat dairy products, and whole grains, and low intake of sodium, sweetened beverages, and red and processed meats.
4. Moderate alcohol use.
5. Use non-narcotic pain relievers less than once per week.
6. Taking a folic acid supplement of 400 micrograms.

Along with these precautions, EDTA chelation therapy can also help reduce the risk hypertension. EDTA oral chelation therapy reduces the effects of plaque problems and increases your blood flow When you reduce the blockage and increase circulation, your body receives the proper blood rich in oxygen and nutrients which can allow it to recuperate, regenerate and operate normally once again. Moderate exercise will make your chelation therapy more effective and will also aid even more with the effectiveness of an improved circulatory system.  Visit Cardio Renew to see how chelation therapy can make you feel better today!

Bradycardia is a slower than normal heart rate. Your heart usually beats between 60 and 100 times a minute in an adult at rest. If you have Bradycardia, your heart beats less than 60 times minute. Bradycardia can be a serious problem from some, and for others it’s not. If you have any of the symptoms of Bradycardia, you should talk with your doctor:

•    Near-fainting or fainting (syncope)
•    Dizziness
•    Weakness
•    Fatigue
•    Shortness of breath
•    Chest pains
•    Disturbed sleep
•    Confusion or memory impairment
•    Easily tiring during physical activity

Bradycardia is caused by something that disrupts the normal electrical impulses controlling the rate of your heart’s pumping action. Many things can cause or contribute to problems with your heart’s electrical system, including:

•    Degeneration of heart tissue related to aging
•    Damage to heart tissues from heart disease or heart attack
•    High blood pressure (hypertension)
•    Heart disorder present at birth (congenital heart defect)
•    Infection of heart tissue (myocarditis)
•    A complication of heart surgery
•    Underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism)
•    Imbalance of electrolytes, mineral-related substances necessary for conducting electrical impulses
•    Obstructive sleep apnea, the repeated disruption of breathing during sleep
•    Inflammatory disease, such as rheumatic fever or lupus
•    Hemochromatosis, the buildup of iron in organs
•    Medications, including some drugs for other heart rhythm disorders, high blood pressure and  psychosis

EDTA chelation therapy can help improve hypertension, one of the contributing causes to Bradycardia.  To learn more about chelation therapy and how it can improve your heart’s health, visit Cardio Renew.

EDTA chelation helps to “clean out” your veins and arteries.EDTA “grabs” a number of unwanted substances that can cause LDL Cholesterol plaque build up and free radical damage from the cardiovascular system, renders them harmless, and prepares them for excretion through the urine. Oral Chelation is a natural process that cleans the cardiovascular system, helping the body cleanse the arteries and veins, as well as detoxify the liver and kidneys.

Assimilation of EDTA is effective when taken via intravenous chelation or oral chelation. When taken orally, EDTA, like other amino acids of similar molecular weight, passes through the stomach unaffected where it is then absorbed directly through the epithelium cells of the duodenum. EDTA has been incorrectly referenced by some who apparently do not understand that the biochemistry and assimilation of proteins (made from chains of amino acids) and unattached Free Form Amino Acids all occurs in the duodenum, being unaffected by the stomach and the gastric juices.

Often misunderstood is the fact that stomach acidity has nothing whatsoever to do with the digestion of proteins, which all takes place via enzymatic reaction later in the duodenum, and that orally consumed Free Form Amino Acids are likewise not affected. In fact, the pH of the stomach when secreting HCL is generally around 3.0 (note: EDTA in solution may exhibit a pH of 4.0 all on its own), which has absolutely no affect on the molecular bonds of Free Form Amino Acids (including EDTA) and thus, cannot and will not destroy them.  Visit Cardio Renew to learn more!

A new study reported in Reuters shows that maintaining a healthy blood sugar level decreases the risk of dying from ischemic heart disease for people with diabetes.

The study found that poor long-term blood sugar control in diabetics is associated with a substantial increase in the risk of dying from ischemic heart disease — the type of heart disease characterized by restricted blood flow to the arteries of the heart. However, with reasonably good blood sugar or “glycemic” control, the risk of death from ischemic heart disease is comparable to that seen in people without diabetes, the researchers found.

In a 20-year follow up study, Dale and colleagues compared death rates from ischemic heart disease in 205 patients newly diagnosed with diabetes and 205 matched subjects without diabetes at the outset.The researchers report in the European Heart Journal that diabetic patients had nearly a two-fold greater risk of dying compared to nondiabetic patients.

The risk for death from ischemic heart disease was four times higher in diabetic subjects with poor long-term blood sugar control compared to the control group, whereas in diabetes patients with “reasonably good” blood sugar control the risk was almost the same as in subjects without diabetes, Dale said.

EDTA chelation therapy improves blood flow to the brain and can help reduce your risk of TIA strokes.  Cardio Renew’s  EDTA-formula binds excessive minerals in the body, creating a complex that is removed as waste.  Blood flow and arterial health are restored, and vital nutrients can be carried to organs and tissues.   Visit Cardio Renew to learn more about the benefits of EDTA oral chelation therapy.
